Not all lovers have a wedding with a formal part, and there are different reasons for this: someone decides to celebrate such an event with just the two of them and get married without relatives and guests; someone celebrates on another day with their family; and someone is organizing a recently popular outdoor ceremony, in general, there are a lot of options. In any case, marriage registration is an important and responsible event for the bride and groom, which should be taken seriously and prepared in advance. In this article we will look at what a dress can be for painting in the registry office without a celebration for the girl.
Image options
Painting without a wedding can be done elegantly and stylishly. The market offers many options for dresses, among which the bride is sure to find something suitable. Different styles will help highlight your figure, hide imperfections and highlight the highlight of your wedding look:
- The sheath dress is a universal model. Suitable for women with different body shapes. It is not difficult to choose an option that is suitable for both the registry office and other cases. You can change the neckline, length, sleeves, color - and you will always look fashionable. A lace sheath dress would look ideal in this case.
- Asymmetrical dresses are in trend today. Often offered as wedding attire. This dress will add sexiness and elegance to your look at the same time. If you want to attract the attention of others, look gentle, feminine, unusual, then choose an asymmetrical cut.
- “Doll” look - the look of a cute doll is perfect for young petite brides. This style is very popular among young people. Delicate pastel colors, fluffy multi-layered short skirts, the top is open or covered with transparent fabrics. There are no sleeves or they are represented by a flirty short fluffy lantern and wings. A wide belt tied with a bow at the back and various ruffles give the look a doll-like charm. Models with a trapezoid cut or high waist look interesting. Laces, shuttlecocks, wreaths, flowers - all these are attributes of the doll.
- Long dress - such models are needed for the image of an elegant lady. Long dresses will make any girl with exquisite taste, tender and at the same time sensual. For a dress to be painted without a wedding, soft colors and flowing light fabrics are suitable. If you have beautiful legs, you can choose a skirt with slits of varying heights. The top of the dress can be presented in various options: open, with straps, with transparent inserts, lace. It all depends on your body type and desire.
Adviсe:
- Give preference only to the outfit that fits you perfectly, because nothing will spoil your appearance more than the wrong dress size, length and style.
- It is recommended not to wear too unusual things that may shock the registry office employees. No matter how creative you are, it is better to dress more modestly for painting.
- The bride and groom should be in the same style. If your choice fell on an evening dress, then it is appropriate for a man to choose a suit or an elegant shirt and trousers. If you plan to dress modestly, then don’t dress up your chosen one too much.
- In the color scheme of clothes, of course, pastel shades are preferred, but no one will forbid you to choose something brighter. The only thing you still want to avoid is dark and acidic things.
Color scheme, decorative elements
Modern wedding fashion boldly uses different colors for weddings. With color you can emphasize your individuality and express your character. Pastel colors occupy the leading place:
- All shades of pink (pale coral, powder pink, sakura). A pink dress will create an image of girlish naivety and dreaminess. For decoration, flounces, ruffles, bows, and various floral-themed decorations are suitable. You'll look good in pink if your wedding takes place in the spring. Pregnant women can advantageously hide their growing belly with a high-waisted dress. Avoid fabrics with glitter - it's vulgar. Too short pink dresses look frivolous;
- Beige dress (milk, vanilla, soft bronze) – luxury, elegance, restraint. The color will highlight the beauty of your face. Lace and embroidery work well as decoration. Tight-fitting dresses with an accentuated waist look best in this color. Remember that this color makes you look fat, so you shouldn’t get carried away with fluffy skirts and layers;
- Blue and light blue shades (sky, cornflower blue, azure) are fashionable and fresh. The color gives airiness and lightness, and therefore fluffy skirts, folds, and tiers will be appropriate. An open, strapless top with bare arms is a great option. A blue satin or silk dress will make your figure taller and more sophisticated. Blue dresses are well decorated with a scattering of white flowers, expensive silver embroidery on the top and a beautiful silver belt. Dresses made from blue lace fabric look very impressive;
- Soft green color (turquoise, mint, pistachio). Fluffy dresses made of heavy and light fabrics will look good. For a short one, you need to choose a darker green color. Silver, black, green shiny embroidery looks beautiful on green. Lace inserts in green or black will add mystery and charm to the outfit.
Dresses in bright colors look very fashionable. This way you will emphasize your extravagance and attract attention:
- Bright red color – passion, sexuality, intrigue. In some eastern countries, this color symbolizes wealth and good health. Dresses can be cut in a variety of ways: fluffy, asymmetrical, in the Greek style. For decoration, you can use draperies, trains, and gold embroidery;
- Yellow color is ideal for tanned skin. Girls with a strong personality choose yellow models. Such a dress can be made luxurious, royal, or, on the contrary, simple and modest. Decor - black, gold, silver embroidery and lace of the same colors, scatterings of gold, white, yellow flowers on the dress, belt and trim along the edge of the flounces with yellow satin or silk;
- A blue dress is dazzling, mysterious, symbolizing severity, inaccessibility, and splendor. Blue color is good for slimming. But keep in mind, it can make your skin look pale. Decorate your outfit with silver embroidery, blue and silver lace.
What to wear to a non-celebratory marriage registration
The procedure of painting in the registry office without a solemn speech by the presenter takes only a few minutes.
The bride and groom are invited to an office with a table and chairs, where they are greeted by an official from the civil registry department. Witnesses and guests of the event are not allowed into the room, even in cases where they are in the lobby of the institution and want to congratulate the newlyweds. Also, during painting there is no moment of exchanging rings.
The whole event is quite formal and involves paperwork. This procedure allows the newlywed to come to the wedding in clothes of any style. The only outfit that will not be entirely appropriate in the registry office, paradoxically, is a traditional wedding dress.
Having written an application for marriage, the future husband and wife can agree on the style of clothing in which they will come to the painting in a month. If a couple wants to look harmonious on this day, then it is advisable to discuss the nuances of their non-ceremonial wedding look.
Most often, brides choose the following outfits for marriage registration:
- smart casual . The combination of jeans with a T-shirt or jumper can be seen in any informal setting. Some girls consider this “outfit” quite acceptable for painting in the registry office. To make the couple look like a single whole, it is advisable for the groom to wear denim trousers;
- National Costume . Only extraordinary individuals can choose this option. In everyday life there are few occasions to put on an outfit with a national flavor. The painting procedure can be exactly the moment when you can dress up in a dress of an unusual cut with embroidery;
- sundress . A light and airy sundress is acceptable only in the summer. In such clothes, the bride will be able to emphasize her femininity and modesty;
- themed costume . In order to add brightness to your marriage registration day, you can rent a carnival costume. The main thing is that the groom supports the bride’s desire to arrive at the registry office in such an unusual form. Otherwise the pair will resonate;
- Cocktail Dress . The most classic option for formal marriage registration. This dress is perfect for a celebration after painting and can be worn more than once for other events. The color scheme can be completely varied, including dark and shiny shades;
- white _ The style and length of such a dress can be anything - the main thing is that the bride feels comfortable;
- pantsuit . A stylish trouser suit made of good quality fabric in a light shade can compete even with a traditional wedding dress. The only feature that still prevents him from becoming a favorite in wedding fashion is severity. It is this that will be most suitable for the official painting procedure.
Hairstyle and accessories
Hairstyles with natural or artificial flowers are gaining popularity. They will give the image youth and freshness. Small buds can be woven into a braid. Flowers will look very beautiful on large curls. If there are flowers on the dress, then the hairstyle, complemented by buds, will beautifully complement the outfit.
You can decorate headbands and hair tied in a bun with flowers. Flower decoration will look great on short hair.
A variety of braids and braids do not lose their relevance. A braid around a bun on the top of the head, 2 side braids that go into a bun at the back of the head, French braids decorated with satin ribbons and pearl beads. If you have long hair, opt for a loose braid with large rings.
For long hair, various side hairstyles will look great. These can be various braids with transparent ribbons woven into them, ponytails curled into large waves or curls. You can complement your hairstyle with openwork hairpins and threads with pearls.
The tiara is a popular wedding accessory. It will perfectly decorate smoothly combed bun hairstyles or voluminous hairstyles with curls. A short haircut, combed back with curled ends and a small tiara - the image of a mischievous princess. Remember that complex, voluminous, high hairstyles need to be decorated with modest accessories.
Bridal pantsuit
Creative newlyweds can shock others by wearing a black trouser overalls to the registry office. However, we note that upon entering a wedding salon, we can find a beautiful trouser outfit for brides in a traditional wedding color. In which the bride can visit the state registry office for painting without shocking the public. Fashion is very changeable; not only suits with a skirt, but also trouser styles have become popular among brides. The modern wedding industry offers a variety of pantsuits for brides who prefer an extravagant style. Brides who have already worn a wedding dress once can choose a trouser suit for painting. Choosing practicality, you can stop at trousers, then be able to wear the outfit the next time to other special events. A girl may want to stand out from other brides.
Image options for women over 40 years old
Middle-aged ladies have a special charm and self-confidence. The image should be sophisticated, chic, but at the same time restrained.
Wedding dresses can be any color, even black. It is worth choosing a style depending on the characteristics of the figure. Evening long dresses in cherry, blue, and green colors will look ideal. You should not buy dresses with full skirts. Tight-fitting, flowing styles will look much better. Those with beautiful breasts can afford deep necklines, but it is better to refrain from strapless dresses with a heavily exposed back. A top made of lace or transparent fabrics will look good.
You shouldn’t give up decorations, but they shouldn’t be bulky or flashy. If you have a high hairstyle and a long neck, then choose long earrings. The more complex the hairstyle, the more modest the earrings should be. Neck jewelry must be selected depending on the neckline and decor of the top of the dress. If the dress is decorated with silver embroidery, then you should not wear gold, and vice versa. Do you have beautifully shaped arms and long sleeves? Wear a medium width bracelet. In any case, do not overload your wedding outfit with jewelry; avoid excess glitter.
Short hair should be neatly cut and elegantly styled. If you have long hair, then it is better to make various buns out of it. You can decorate your hair with beautiful hairpins and beads. You should not use tiaras, tiaras, frivolous flowers and ribbons. And, of course, you shouldn’t wear a veil.

Rings
It all starts with the wedding ring: as soon as the groom puts it on his beloved’s finger, preparations for the most important event of your life can be considered begun. And if earlier men selected wedding rings based on their observations regarding the bride’s taste, today looking for an accessory together with their future wife is not bad manners from the word “at all”
In principle, jewelers had noted similar cases years earlier, but the trend for an informed choice of ring was started by Zoë Kravitz. So you have the right to insist on going jewelry shopping together if you're planning a wedding, but there hasn't been an official proposal yet.
Now let's talk about fashion trends in the manufacture of wedding rings. In light of the growing love for craft, exclusive products, custom-made jewelry is becoming increasingly popular. Thus, young people choose hand-cut diamonds and rings made of yellow gold instead of the rather boring platinum; Art Deco models are popular. This can be explained by the fact that products designed for mass buyers no longer satisfy discerning consumers (and there are more and more of them). They don't need decoration like everyone else, people find expression of their self in antiques, objects with history and soul.
Venue design
Autumn is, of course, clean, transparent air and nature acting as scenery. On a warm September day, you can hold a celebration outside, but it is better if the wedding venue combines a more or less enclosed space, at least under a roof, and open-air areas. In autumn it gets dark early, so the main element of decor can be light, or rather, garlands and candles.

A wedding without a celebration: how to hold it
If you decide not to have a banquet, this does not mean that you yourself will be bored. Wedding ideas for two without a celebration can be very different.
- Honeymoon . There are few couples who are ready to give up a holiday together abroad. Therefore, in order to save money, you can sign at the registry office, and then immediately fly to warmer climes and celebrate the birth of a new family there.
- Romantic evening . After the registry office, you can have a romantic dinner, ride horses, go to the place of your first date, in general, spend the day just the two of you, talk about your love and remember how you met. If you wish, you can book a table in a good restaurant for two.
- Photoshoot . Photos are not an extravagance, they are a memory that will stay with you. Even if the wedding is without a celebration, you can afford a photo. If young people want to capture the moment of their union, they should invest in a photographer. There are such ideas for photo shoots that you can spend the whole day or only part of the day on them, and then go home to celebrate with a narrow family circle.
- Tourist wedding . Hiking lovers can immediately go somewhere in the mountains after the registry office, enjoy the scenery and each other.
- Wedding abroad . You can hold the ceremony together abroad, in Cyprus or the Czech Republic, in Italy or Cuba. It won't be cheap, but it won't cost more than a banquet for 150 people. In addition, such a wedding will give you a lot of unforgettable impressions, and the photo session will turn out to be original and bright.
Bouquet
Bright, rich floral arrangements look very beautiful; they look best against a white winter background. Choose an original bouquet that will contain spruce or pine branches and cones, as well as rowan and viburnum berries (see the link for more options).
By the way, many brides have long been replacing fresh flowers with brooch bouquets. In this case, it could be a brilliant composition of stones, woolen threads or Christmas tree decorations.
Shoes
Of course, in winter the bride has certain difficulties with shoes. Not many girls would dare to walk along the snow-covered paths from the wedding limousine to the Wedding Palace in open shoes.
Fortunately, today it is not at all necessary to freeze in sandals, because there are very impressive shoe models that go perfectly with a wedding dress.
Especially for brides who do not want to risk their health and still look graceful and elegant, stylists suggest paying attention to openwork ankle boots with satin laces and golden eyelets.
Luxurious boots will make a wonderful tandem with a wedding dress and will keep your feet warm. By the way, you don’t have to change your shoes in a restaurant.
If you are planning a long walk that includes a photo shoot, it is better to choose beautiful boots, embroidered with rhinestones, silver and gold fittings, and trimmed with fur.
The length of the boot depends on what kind of dress you are wearing - long or short. In the first case, preference should be given to ankle boots, in the second - high boots or over the knee boots.
Well, stylized felt boots or ugg boots embroidered with beads, embroidery and sequins will make an ideal pair with a knitted dress.
Pronovias
The Spanish wedding brand Pronovias, which, due to the coronavirus epidemic, decided to present wedding dresses to nurses for celebrations (of course, after the lifting of quarantine in the world), showed an incredibly touching and bold collection of wedding dresses. The models embroidered with beaded mesh literally became the stars of the collection.
In addition to fairly classic silhouettes, the collection includes bold dresses with tiered skirts. Such options will look especially expressive in wedding photographs.
I would also like to note the model with removable flounced sleeves. And let me remind you once again that voluminous sleeves are an undeniable trend for the coming seasons.
Also in the collection there are a couple of dresses reminiscent of suits in cut - with tweed edging, pockets and buttons.

Painting in the registry office: which ceremony to choose?
Having decided to start a family, each couple will have to submit an application to the registry office and officially register the marriage. In this way, lovers inform the state of their serious intentions towards each other, and also acquire a number of rights and legal protection in the event of divorce.
What is solemn registration of marriage?
When submitting an application, newlyweds must pay the established state fee. However, when choosing a ceremony, the couple will have to pay for additional services.
Be prepared to pay:
- For the registry office photographer;
- For the videographer of the registry office;
- For services to the orchestra;
- For renting glasses;
- For the folder for the marriage certificate.
Some registry offices in Russia offer new families to celebrate the birth of a family with fireworks or firecrackers. Naturally, for a fee.
The main advantage of the ceremony is the exciting moment of creating a newly-made family. A beautiful festive speech is addressed to the newlyweds, and their closest and dearest people support them behind them.
Non-solemn registration of marriage at the registry office does not offer the above items. However, it gives couples the opportunity to save money on the ceremony.
A few recommendations
- Buy the dress approximately one, maximum two weeks before the appointed date. Of course, you can choose it in advance, decide on the style and color, but it is recommended to purchase the product as late as possible. The thing is that the figure of pregnant women changes very quickly, so if you take the product in advance, you may simply not fit into it on the wedding day.
- Do not buy a dress “to grow into” , because bearing a child is an individual process. One expectant mother may have a much larger belly at 6 months than another at 8 months.
- In this situation, the main criteria when choosing an outfit are, of course, comfort and convenience . Therefore, it is better to avoid tight corsets with lacing, tight styles and other clothing details that squeeze the stomach and chest. An excellent solution would be loose-fitting wedding items made from elastic or natural and breathable fabric.
- Pay attention to the quality of tailoring , and especially the seams. You should not feel any unpleasant sensation when touching them.
- At a later date, in order not to make the silhouette more bulky , you should abandon too full skirts, puffed sleeves, a large amount of decor, 3D flowers and other voluminous decorations.
